GUN VIOLENCE

Mass shootings continue to grab headlines and shatter lives, and yet our government has made almost no effort to prevent another tragedy. In the daily headlines, we often miss the other side of gun violence—the regular and now predictable death toll of shooting crimes across the country. We can take meaningful steps to make a difference:

Closing the Gun Show Loophole: We have the technology to take this safety measure at minimum inconvenience to purchasers.

Banning Military-Style Assault Weapons.

Facts: We can reverse the current restriction that prohibits NIH from researching gun violence and prevention as a public health crisis.

Opposing Reciprocity: We can’t allow people who would not qualify for a concealed carry permit in Virginia to bring their weapons into the Commonwealth. See: Charlottesville.
